#5 The Riott Squad make a great comeback on WWE RAW
Backstage, The IIconics demanded that Kevin Owens makes them his special guests on the KO Show for this week’s WWE RAW. The Prizefighter claimed that he already had a guest scheduled to appear on his show.
KO introduced Ruby Riott as his special guest during the KO Show and allowed her to talk about her recent wins over The IIconics. She further revealed that she wished that Liv Morgan was by her side to celebrate her victories.
Owens then called Morgan out to the show and the two spoke about their friendship and problems before The IIconics interrupted and trash-talked the duo.
After the two heels slapped KO, The Prizefighter asked Ruby and Liv for a bit of help which led to the two babyfaces taking the heels down.
A match between the two teams was then set and it didn’t take The Riott Squad too long to defeat The IIconics on RAW.
After the match, Ruby and Liv worked together and took out Billie Kay before leaving the arena. This showed that the two women may be back to reform the Riott Squad, which is excellent news for fans of Ruby, Liv, and the WWE Women’s Tag Team Division.
